Simple Ideas and Designs For Face Painting
A little background about myself: as the mother of a 6 and 8 year old, you can probably guess that I've been to many school functions and activities. Our family has always been involved with face painting, and my kids and I love bringing that fun and creativity to these events!
Can you guess who the star attraction is at every school event, community festivals and charity functions we attend? You're right!
Face painting is so easy, and not only is it fun for both you and your kids, it's a rewarding experience that you can enjoy with your family for years to come.
There are so many aspects to face painting, novice and expert alike. So I'm going to share a few simple ideas and tips to get you started in the right direction!
Tip #1) Use Quality Paints. Skimping on paint quality will make the whole process longer and frustrating. Also make sure the paints you buy are designed for the face!
Tip #2) Don't use cheap brushes. Spend a few bucks on a couple quality paint brushes. You'll be able to reuse them for years to come!
Tip #3) Find a few designs to practice and perfect them! It's unnecessary to spread your talents throughout hundreds of designs. By perfecting a few key designs, you'll look like a hero to all the kids!
Tip #4) Don't be afraid to make mistakes! Practice makes perfect, and you ARE going to make mistakes along the road. Kids are generally forgiving and so is the paint. Many paints are also "erasable" so don't worry!
Tip #5) Have fun! Face painting can be a very therapeutic and creative exercise for you.
There you have it.
